The Creepy New World of Artificial Intelligence

Al Ritter


Soon the word plagiarism will become something of the past. With the recent elimination of SAT and ACT scores for college entry, AI programs will fill that gap. One only needs to google the words “AI essay writer,” to see a never ending list of programs designed to help students.

When such programs are used as a crutch, how do we know where the student’s intelligence ends and the AI programs intelligence begins?

Elon Musk has warned us about AI, and I think his warnings should be heeded. Let me give you an example. Recently a new News Station fully generated by AI will debut early this year. The Los Angeles based “Channel 1” will have AI created news anchors. They claim that all their news will come from unbiased sources.

I couldn’t help but to laugh at that statement especially coming out of California.

The news anchors look beyond real as you will see in my following link, in fact it’s downright creepy!

If you follow the Israeli war on YouTube from independent news journalists you will notice they almost exclusively use an AI programs that convert text to talk. It’s pretty easy to spot once you have been told. They usually pronounce the same exact word multiple times differently and repeat the same phrases constantly. Obviously they must be rudimentary programs but never the less the reporting has been invaded by AI.

Once the world accepts this AI generation what is to keep those same news outlets from creating their own war video based on CGI (computer generated imagery) technology?

The landscape is ripe for misuse of both these technologies. Propaganda will take on a whole new level of sophistication. We will no longer be able to tell real from computer make believe.

As one commenter said, “If you think there is fake news now, you ain’t seen nothing yet.”

When my mother used to talk about computers she used to say, "Junk in, Junk out." Meaning the program only does what the programmer tells it to do. There is NO way this type of thing will be unbiased.

Well sh*t, we already have an artificial president with no intelligence, so how much worse can it get?

I don't trust AI, the people who invented it or people who use it.
That includes Mr. Andrew Torba, the founder of Gab.

We have too many artificial, programmable things in our lives as it is .

It looks like most of the Communist countries have have their own AI news stations too. This is going to be a slippery road to go down in the future, but I guess there is no stopping it now!

The movie Terminator will soon be considered a documentary in stead of sci-fi fiction.

So what would be keeping them from creating "war" scenes from scratch and promoting them as actual footage?

@ Bet C.....That was my question too!
